Benefits of Colour-Coded Packaging System

Published on

When your OR is moving quickly, picking errors are bound to happen.
And when they do, professionals might lose focus, resources are wasted and productivity suffers.
Stop the confusion, save valuable time and ensure patient safety. Discover the Colour-Coded Packaging System from Medline. From colour-coded labels to high-legibility inserts, this is intuitive visual design at its best: fast, at-a-glance picking for accurate, off-the-shelf access to the right pack for the right procedure.

No more guessing. Just results. Colour coding saves time and improves efficiency.

Empower Your Team with Colour-Coded Confidence.
Our Colour-Coded Packaging System transforms the way surgical packs are stocked and pulled, improving OR efficiencies and shaving minutes off valuable prep time.

Check out our easy-to-scan insert design:


1. Choice of colour and bold labeling make it simple to identify pack-type.
2. Alphabetical contents list verifies what’s inside before opening pack.
3. Add your hospital logo to customize design.
4. Expiration date is clearly indicated to ensure patient safety.
5. Latex content is noted in red to help prevent accidental exposure.
6. Component Utilization tool documents unused items that may be eliminated from the pack and/or any additional items that should be included.
7. Any item not included is noted in black so you’ll know what items you need to pick separately.
